高祖詔景宗督衆軍援義之，豫州刺史韋叡亦預焉，而受景宗節度。 Gaozu ordered Jingzong to command the armies to relieve Yizhi; Yuzhou inspector Wei Rui joined as well, under Jingzong's command.

及韋叡至，與景宗進頓邵陽洲，立壘去魏城百餘步。 When Wei Rui arrived, he and Jingzong advanced to Shaoyang Isle and built ramparts a little over a hundred paces from the Wei city.

令景宗與叡各攻一橋，叡攻其南，景宗攻其北。 He ordered Jingzong and Rui each to take one bridge—Rui the south, Jingzong the north.

叡遣所督將馮道根、李文釗、裴邃、韋寂等乘艦登岸，擊魏洲上軍盡殪。 Rui sent Feng Daogen, Li Wenzhao, Pei Sui, Wei Ji, and other generals under his command to land from the ships and slaughter the Wei troops on the isle.

惟韋叡年長，且州里勝流，特相敬重，同宴御筵，亦曲躬謙遜，高祖以此嘉之。 only Wei Rui, who was older and a leading man of their district, he specially honored; at imperial banquets he bowed with humble courtesy as well—Gaozu praised him for it.
